Rochester Police are involved in a standoff on Dewey Avenue near a city elementary school. News10NBC is told there is a man inside a home with a gun. Right now, Dewey Avenue is closed between Selye Terrace and Kislingbury Street.

We have a crew on the scene and will post any updates here on our website. 

Wow, they are bigger than I thought!

Wow, on a bridge to boot!! Thanks Bonnie!

2 weeks ago, she had a plastic bag wrapped around her neck. She freed herself from it. I don't like these bags and don't use them. I bring my own where ever I go.

Could have been worse!

  Glowz looks like an eclipse!

New shells here too!!

  I had asked Kat if the cam guy could zoom in more on the nest and Scott said it's in full zoom right now unless they move the building closer!!  Last year's view!

Quest was so reluctant and really did not want to leave but Kendal finally persuaded her. I figured there must be a pip
but the nest is so much in shadow, you can't really see much.  It took him several minutes to convince her.
Now, we know there was reason Quest was reluctant.  Thanks nyc!! 

The Evanston 4!!    thanks nycbird

Quest feeds her baby!

Thanks nycbird!!!

Big News! One Wells Fargo Center just launched a new FalconCam, featuring the nesting falcons on their 40th floor.

I'm sticking this here as it already has the Ohio Peregrines in the thread.

Too early for any signs of hatching just yet at Clinic on Sunday, but caught Dipper perched next to the head of his prey (unfortunately, looked like a meadowlark head) while Ely was steadily incubating. He was repeatedly gaping, a behavior where the head is thrown back and the bird appears like he is swallowing air. Although in still shots it can look to less experienced watchers as if he’s calling, there are no sounds made during gaping and it’s actually a very different “look� than when they are vocalizing. Researchers are not sure why gaping takes place, but there are a couple theories: one is that gaping is a peregrine’s way of dislodging feathers that may get caught in the throat following preening. The other theory is that gaping equalizes the air pressure in their ears after a change in altitude or “sudden changes in barometric pressure, as when a cold front moves in� (described by Steve Sherrod in “Behavior of Fledgling Peregrines�).

 

   Great news! Sister's lay eggs the same day, hatch the same day!! 

   Thanks!!

Before the wind sprayed her with rain & snow and then the hot sun beat down on her........
I think she was very smart to move her eggs to the back of the tray where she is much more
comfortable...too bad for all her devoted fans,....we have to take what we get and be happy.
I will send many blessings to the person who washes that night cam lens. You know RM will
give us the best views of her eyases at night time.

Yup!!  This is the first year she pushed the eggs back. Indeed more protective back there but you know we want to see! That's what cams are for!!
